[b]Pros:[/b] +I don't know of any other engineer/puzzling game for VR right now – and this one does it well +Great bubbly…It's simple, yet challenging and a ton of fun alone or with friends!The environment is really colorful and pleasant, a bit disappointed by the lack of parts and free mode, I'd like to build…It is so much fun to build the machines to solve the puzzles, as you are moving around in this new world.Why it fits
